Logik TKD 795/2 heating element

[Mukamika]

Hi, can anyone help with how to access the heating element on this model of dishwasher, I appear to have a major short which really blows the fuse, there doesn`t appear to be any way to dismantle the outside of the unit, is it approached from inside?

Nothing on Partmaster listed as a Logik TKD795 with or without the /2 EXCEPT as a Whirlpool dishwasher which it could well be right based on the model number you have given? If so and from memory and we are all talking about the same machine but a rebadged brand you access the heater from a removable sheet of metal underneath is typically the W/pool way of doing things and the heater is that cylindrical part. Of course it is possible that a Logik TKD795 does exist and is an entirely different contraption, but it t`aint listed as a Logik… Google Partmaster then type in 2330046pm which is the Partmaster part number and ye shall see the picture of the part if you have something completely different we are talking about 2 different machines 1 of which, your machine, there is no info.

Thanks for the response, for some reason I very stupidly put Logik when I meant Tecnik, for which I see there are a couple of posts but same question for this model, I have found listings for parts for this dishwasher but it`s more on how to dismantle it really

i can find listings for TKD795 which is a whirlpool unit
but
i cant find any info on TKD795/2 which could be a completely different machine

is there a long code number on it, something like, 8545 337 15310

Sussed it! Follow this carefully. The Partmaster site shows your model as a Whirlpool with a model number 854533715310 also known as a Tkd795 but mentions nothing about the /2 bit, so see my first post re heater. It also gives a another version F092264 BUT SHOWS THE SAME WHIRLPOOL VERSIONS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED which is a Bosch code but not its real model number which gleaned from someones other post as a TKD795/2 is really A se6tie1gb BUT there is no /two numbers which you would need as there are different Bosch versions of the same. Looking on the Bosch site will give you no answer since although I`m sure your machine is in fact a Bosch that is re-badged Bosch but sold ( as this is very common in the trade ) as a Tecnik. The couple of Tecnik models that I looked up under SE6TIE1GB says nile stock = obsolete BUT there appears to be no way to X reference Tecnik to Bosch parts though I would be pretty sure the heater would be available from Bosch but which heater it is is unknown.
Right having got that out of the way!! Has your machine got a plastic base? The way I used to do this on Bosch is power off, lid off, sides off-two screws at the front per panel, door closed, plinth off 1 screw each side. Then I used to turn the whole machine empty machine upside down, undo the two screws holding the metal strip at the front that goes left to right behind that plactic plinth you just moved earlier, undo the 2 screws that hold the plastic base to the metal frame which will allow you to lift the plastic base away. Wedge the base up with a long screwdriver and the heater unit is on the right hand side on the base as a grey or white box affair held on to the sump with 3 screws ( from memory). BUT BEFORE YOU do anything just described I would make sure the heater has in fact is the culprit with a test meter then having proved the point make sure you can get the part. Have a look at Bosch part number 00498623. I am NOT saying that is the correct part only that if the detective work is correct it`ll look like that part. Best of luck.

That took some digging Andy

F092264 come up in hotpoint as TKD795 look like a standard whirlpool build

so we have to find out if this unit is Bosch or not and a few photos should cure that If Mukamika want to do that. We need photos of the inside and where the motor and heater is and one of us will probably recognise the construction

you will have to host your photos on another site and post public links here
